People on the Internet are talking about Karina's new, unedited pictures.

The post "Wow, Karina's Unedited Photo's Class" went popular on August 16. In the post, a netizen put up a bunch of pictures of Karina.

In the pictures, Karina isn't wearing as much makeup as usual, but her extraordinary beauty is still clear.

Some people said that the pictures were too beautiful to have been taken without any editing.

The fans then gave the reporter unretouched pictures of the idol, which are known for being unflattering.

Many people thought that the photos taken by the reporter showed that the pictures in the original post were not changed.

"Nate Pann users always post hate messages, even when aespa isn't pushing, because they feel like they're not good enough. The people who don't like aespa can't take its success."

"Here's an unedited photo of a reporter that she ate."

"Here's a picture of her killing a reporter."

"This is a real picture that she ate of a reporter.

So, what do you think?

NewJeans' Minji touched fans' hearts with a handwritten letter on her birthday — even while the group is currently unable to promote due to legal issues.

On May 7, Minji celebrated her birthday by sharing a heartfelt message on the group’s personal SNS account, which the members opened themselves to stay connected with fans.

Minji began her letter with honesty, writing, “I think I’m living a busier life than I expected. When I finally looked up, it was already May, and it was my birthday.”

She admitted that she had a lot she wanted to say, but her thoughts felt “messy.” Still, her message to fans was clear, “I just hope that I, our members, and Bunnies can all be happy. Happiness is the biggest goal in my life.”

Minji then opened up about her personal journey and struggles, saying, “I sometimes think that running toward my happiness by doing what I love might look foolish to others. But isn’t giving up your happiness now for the sake of a future that might not even come… too harsh on yourself?”

Despite everything, she ended on a hopeful note, “I really miss the times when we shared our feelings through the good music we made together. But I always look forward to what’s ahead."

She added, "We didn’t stop here, and we’re not going to stop! It might look like we’re standing still, but I believe we’re growing deeper.”

Her message comes during a difficult time for NewJeans. The group announced last year that they were cutting ties with ADOR, their original agency, after trust was broken. They later began working independently under the new name ‘NJZ’.

However, ADOR responded with legal action — claiming the exclusive contract with NewJeans was still valid and asking the court to stop the group from promoting or signing deals.

The court sided with ADOR and granted an injunction, forcing NewJeans to pause their activities. Their appeal was rejected, and they’ve now filed a second appeal.

Through it all, Minji’s message proves one thing — even when forced to stop, NewJeans' hearts are still moving forward.
